That varies with the user :) That said with the volume of spam
increasing dramatically now anything that gets under 95% is still going
to let an annoying amount through.

My email address must be on every spammers list by now -- it is
available in email list archives all over the 'Net and I get 2 or 3
pieces of spam a day that get through spam assassin. I find that this
is fine, but if spam volumes double (or they get smarter) this could
easily get to the level where it gets irritating again.

 I must turn of the filter that deletes the stuff to see just how much
is getting dumped. I wish sieve would report statistics!
